Shortly after the Buccaneers held an introductory press conference for newly signed cornerback Brent Grimes, the team announced the addition of another player at the position.

The Buccaneers announced that they have signed former Vikings cornerback Josh Robinson to a one-year deal. Robinson also visited with Grimes’ former team since the start of free agency, although nothing materialized with the Dolphins.

Robinson only played five games after suffering a pectoral injury last summer and returning to action in the final month of the regular season. He had two tackles in those games and three in Minnesota’s playoff loss to Seattle. He started 21 games in his first three NFL seasons.

Grimes and Robinson join Johnthan Banks, Alterraun Verner and Jude Adjei-Barimah at corner for the Bucs and their arrival may lower the chances that Mike Jenkins or Sterling Moore will re-sign with the team.
